Transfer a Service Request to another template
(Post relevant to ServiceDesk Plus build 9120) Hello It is possible to convert an Incident to a Service. That's great. It would also be great if I could Transfer a Service to another Service. Sometimes it happens that the Requester chooses the wrong Service out of the Service Catalog. Regards, Markus
Assigning a request to an Asset
I thought there was a way to associate Incident/Service Request to assets. I look in the Asset section and choose a server and there is a Request Tab. But there is not a way or button to add requests. I then go to modify an Incident and/or Service Request and there are no options or fields to associate assets to the request. Need a little help here. Thanks

Migrating ManageEngine SDP from Windows to Linux
Hello, I've been attempting to migrate the ManageEngine Server from a Windows 2008 server to a Linux (CentOS) server. The installation and such went fine, it's the database restore that messes up the ServiceDesk. Every time I try to restore the database it pretty much ends up with the same problem: "Unable to restore database : null, message from server: Data too long for column 'NOTESTEXT' at row 1". After attempting to restore the database, trying to restore the previous one is impossible. There
Disable Generic Active Directory Users in SDP
We have a bunch of generic logins that do not belong to a particular individual/department. We'd like to disable these users in SDP, so as to prevent these accounts from being used to file request tickets. If we delete them from the user table, they get re-imported when AD is synced. And we can't turn of AD syncing because we are constantly creating new users and updating the tables. Any way around this?

Issue with formatting when copy & pasting
Hi, When copying and pasting blocks of text from MS Word or Outlook into Service Desk Plus, the formatting looks terrible. Mostly the spacing is affected, but when using bulleted lists or numbered lists, they are chopped off the left hand side of the text editor box. For example, from the source text (in MS Word): Pasting directly into an Announcement in Service Desk Plus, the formatting breaks: After stripping out some of the CSS on the Announcementes page, you can see the bullets and numbers actually

Manual Backup and Other Functions
Are there any advanced options for %ManageEngine%\Servicedesk\Bin\BackupData.bat ? We would like to just do a backup of just the configuration, and manually....

Custom Triggers
I'm trying to figure out a way to run a trigger against the ticket that triggered it. For example, if a ticket comes in about a user getting locked out of their AD account I want a custom trigger to run a script that edits the category and subcategory of THAT ticket. I could have the script edit a ticket I specify with the {request_id} parameter but I don't know how to make the request Id dynamic. Here's an example for adding a time log to a ticket: $inputData = @" <Operation> <Details> <Worklog>
Send different notification for specific groups
Is there a way that a ticket assigned to a group can have a different notification from the template? For instance, if a ticket is opened by an external email address, they receive a notification that the ticket was opened, but it does not contain a URL to the help desk, while internal email addresses do. If this isn't possible, can we disable all notifications for tickets opened in a specific group? If neither of these are possible, can we set it up where a group receives a different URL when they

Does ServiceDesk plus support MS SQL 2014?
We are in the process of upgrading our existing database farm to MS SQL 2014 and was wondering if this is supported by ServiceDesk Plus. I can see from the System Requirements page (https://www.manageengine.com/products/service-desk/system-requirement.html) that MS SQL 2000, MS SQL 2005, MS SQL 2008 are supported, but is the site simply out-of-date or is the latest version of ServiceDesk Plus incompatible?

IE 11 with SSO
We have been using SSO with Service Desk now for over a year without any trouble. Once we loaded IE 11 onto our computers the SSO will not longer work for this browser. We have added it to our intranet site but still have not had any consistent luck. Some times the users just receives a web page with nothing on it or sometimes it loads the sign on page. SSO still works perfectly when using the Chrome Browser but IE 11 will not work with any kind of consistency. My guess is that it is a setting

ServiceDesk Plus on Cluster Server
Hello All, For High availability, I think and I suppose service desk application can be installed on different servers like 3 servers and then using Load Balancer to access the server simultaneously on a single IP address. I think this can be achieved in as much as the Database is central... maybe on a cluster in the enterprise. My concern now is the attachment for the cases and assigning of case numbers. How can this be responded to? Is it done by the application or by the database? Can the path
